One of the principal missions of Prof Ranjan Das is to assist individuals and organizations in achieving SUCCESS in whatever fields they are in or shall be in. As a part of this mission, that aims to reach out to people and organizations who are denied opportunities to excel, Prof Das has been working for many years on his core priority of developing a real-time, low cost, universally accessible and highly convenient to use technology enabled and two way interactive learning and capability building process [including development of the underlying delivery platform] that combines the features of time tested traditional brick and mortar model with location-independent features of e-learning model.

Backed by his last 11 years of specific experience in this field, Prof Das is convinced that such a new generation Learning and Development [L&D] process that ensures the following features [called 6Cs] viz.

CUSTOMIZED-CONTENT: Design of CUSTOMIZED CONTENT [including preparation of reading materials and cases], based on content research in client-defined areas, industry-specific and benchmarked internationally.

CLASS-CAPACITY: For any batch, class size is scalable and faculty conducted LIVE sessions can be accessed Universally from ANYWHERE

CAPABILITY-ASSESSMENT: Measuring the extent of specific skills actually acquired by each participant relative to specific standards, his/her ability to apply such skills and associated changes in his/her behaviour effected

CONVENIENCE: High Convenience in learning and acquiring required capabilities:

Ability to attend faculty conducted 100% LIVE sessions from ANYWHERE in India and the World [ i.e. live content from the faculty is universally accessible]

Faculty conducted 100% LIVE sessions are REAL-TIME and TWO WAY INTERACTIVE

RECORDINGS of all faculty conducted 100% LIVE sessions can be accessed on Anytime-Anywhere basis

CARBON-REDUCING: Opportunity to deliver all L&D programs as GREEN Programs [since there will be no burning of fuel to reach any training venue and there will be no use of any paper] and hence such L&D programs will not leave any unwanted carbon footprints anywhere.

COST: Opportunity to reduce effective cost of L&D per participant to less than half of traditional delivery and yet ensure the triple advantages of Customized-Content, Capability-Assessment and Convenience

is now a reality and shall soon be reaching the point of inflection that will have the potential to disrupt progressively the traditional brick and mortar delivery as well as much hyped 100% pre-recorded e-learning method of education delivery.
